A Mishawaka woman told police a man came to her home in the 1400 block of Michigan Avenue last week and pretended to be a police officer. According to a police report, the man showed the woman a badge and asked her questions about a friend, supposedly about an ongoing investigation. The victim said she became suspicious of the man after watching him walk away from her home and not get into a vehicle. The victim described the man as white, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 260 pounds. The man had blue eyes, light brown or blond hair cut short and was wearing a long-sleeved blue shirt and khaki pants.
